We are a university with a focus on engineering and natural sciences as well as economics, human sciences and medicine. We offer excellent study and working conditions to 13,000 students from Germany and abroad as well as approx. 3,000 employees.

At the Chair of Engineering Thermodynamics, we are a group of enthusiastic researchers who strive to advance the investigation of heat transfer processes and complex energy systems.
A reliable and sufficient energy supply is of critical importance for modern societies. At the same time, progressive global warming requires a rapid and significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, integrating renewable energies into the heat and electricity supply will play a decisive role in the future. This is also reflected in the amended German Heat Planning Act. One possibility for the more efficient utilization of renewable energies that has been little explored to date is the coupling of the heating and electricity grids at the household, municipal, and supra-regional levels. In this case, the electricity grid, which has to distribute a growing proportion of fluctuating feed-in from renewable sources, ideally complements the local heat supply. The simultaneous integration of electrical storage systems (PV batteries/vehicle batteries) and thermal storage systems opens up further advantages.
As part of the ‘SmartMES plus’ research project, you will support our team in the development of new multi-energy systems. The overall project involves interdisciplinary cooperation between three chairs, five researchers, a municipal utility with a district heating network, and a local city. The resulting synergies and a broad transfer of knowledge will enable you to shape tomorrow's energy supply.

Job description:

• Analysis of existing electricity and heating networks and data preparation
• Development of concepts for sector coupling, for the generation of heat for district heating networks based on renewable energies and the integration of thermal storage systems
• Numerical simulations for the optimization of systems
• Contributing to reports and publications
• Supervision of Bachelor's and Master's theses
• Cooperation and continuous exchange with project partners

Requirements profile:

• Above-average MSc degree or equivalent in engineering or physics
• Fundamental knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics
• Interest in programming and numerical modeling
• Ability to work in a team and willingness to cooperate
• Interest in attending international conferences
• good german language skills desirable
  

Your benefits:

• The opportunity to pursue a PhD and support.
• Career support with a wide range of education and training opportunities.
• A motivating, interdisciplinary environment and an international team with experienced researchers.
• Excellent infrastructure, modern workspaces, and very well-equipped labs.
• Family-friendliness through flexible working hours, activities for children, and guidance.
• Excellent public transport connections.
• Moderate rents for apartments in Magdeburg.
• Attractive sports and health offers
